Re: The SM58...I feel like most people have forgotten that "mixing" means they have to use their creative/artistic abilities to make things sound good. And yes, this requires effort sometimes. Like using the EQ, or maybe some compression, or whatever other tool is required to make the artist sound good through whatever speakers are there. No, an engineer is not really "mixing" if they plug in a microphone into a flat channel strip and expect things to sound great. It just doesn't work that way.I used to be solidly against the 58, but now, I have no problem getting perfectly usable, even excellent, sound out of one. Maybe it's because after 10 years of mixing, I finally know what I'm doing? (The Fulcrum Acoustic speakers certainly help too)
